Abstract

Description

The oldest of four, a Hilo-born woman recalls growing up in Keaukaha, a middle- and upper-class kamaaina neighborhood. She describes her oceanfront home and how it was destroyed by the 1946 tsunami. She has memories of running from the waves to higher ground and returning later to find nothing left. She comments on the changes which took place after the tsunami.
